At Panama Airport, Copa Airlines has created a hub for connecting 
flights between the Americas and Brazil. The “hub of the Americas” offers a number of advantages for passengers seeking convenience and quality.
The great differential for travelers flying with Copa Airlines connecting in Panama is the exemption of immigration and customs in Panamá. Baggage is shipped
directly to the final destination of the passenger and flights are scheduled at convenient times to provide fast connections. Today, Copa Airlines flies to the following Brazilian cities: Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, Fortaleza, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Salvador, São Paulo, Recife and Rio de Janeiro. Travelers connecting in Panama will always clear customs and immigration in these cities, their final destination.
In addition, the Hub of the Americas offers the most direct way of connecting with the Americas because of Panama’s geographic location and favorable climate that allows the airport to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are also two state of the art runways to ensure air traffic is moving smoothly in and out and sea level operations, which allows aircraft to extend their range.
